Two-way sync
Changes in Dynamo DB or Postgres Heroku instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
Two databases that must agree is one of the oldest problems in engineering: different engines for different workloads, separate services with overlapping reference data, a migration in flight, or regional instances that share a subset of records. Hand-rolled replication across systems means change capture, conflict handling, and type mapping, all built and maintained by your team.
Stacksync syncs tables or collections between Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku continuously and bi-directionally, translating types between the two engines and resolving conflicts by rules you configure. Rows written on either side appear on the other within seconds.
When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.
Services that own separate databases stay consistent on the records they share, without a custom replication layer.
Mirror selected tables to another region or environment continuously, filtered to just the rows that should travel.
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| Dynamo DB objects | Postgres Heroku objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Global Secondary Indexes Alternate access paths used when sync queries filter on non-key attributes. | Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target for app data. | |
| DynamoDB Streams Ordered item-level change records consumed for incremental sync. | Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. | |
| Global Tables Multi-region replicas relevant when syncs must read from a specific region. | Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on refresh. | |
| Tables The top-level containers a sync targets; each table is addressed independently. | Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. | |
| Items Schemaless records keyed by partition (and optional sort) key, mapped to rows or SaaS objects in syncs. | Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts from connected systems. | |
| Attributes Per-item fields, including nested maps and lists, flattened or mapped during sync. | JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS objects and metadata. |
Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every Dynamo DB–Postgres Heroku connection.
Changes in Dynamo DB or Postgres Heroku instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Trigger automated workflows whenever Dynamo DB or Postgres Heroku data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.
Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Dynamo DB or Postgres Heroku record.
Track your Dynamo DB ⇄ Postgres Heroku sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.
Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku.
Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.
Authenticate Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
Pick the Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
Fields map automatically even when names and types differ. Stacksync handles transformation and type casting for you, zero configuration required.
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Dynamo DB's Global Secondary Indexes and DynamoDB Streams), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
Common patterns for Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku: Migration with zero-downtime cutover; Shared reference data between services; Regional or environment copies. When one database is replacing the other, sync both directions during the transition and switch traffic when ready, without a freeze window.
Dynamo DB: Proprietary JSON-over-HTTPS API accessed through AWS SDKs; PartiQL supported for SQL-like queries. Authentication: AWS IAM credentials with SigV4 request signing. Postgres Heroku: SQL wire protocol (standard PostgreSQL). Authentication: Database credentials from the Heroku DATABASE_URL config var; SSL required. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
Dynamo DB: Items are schemaless apart from the mandatory partition key (and optional sort key), so sync field mappings are defined per attribute rather than from a fixed schema. Postgres Heroku: All connections require SSL, and server-level settings such as replication configuration are controlled by Heroku rather than the user. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku without custom code.
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Dynamo DB and Postgres Heroku records are not retained after a sync operation.
As a data company, we understand the importance of keeping your data secure. Stacksync is built with security best practices to keep your data safe at every layer, and is DPF-certified for US, EU, UK and CH data transfers.
